TILAPIA WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Tilapia is one of my favorite proteins to cook when I'm short on time. It takes only 5 minutes to defrost in warm water and cooks up super fast. Typically I resort to my oven baked panko crusted tilapia recipe, but this week I decided to change it up. I found a tasty recipe by FineCooking.com and tried it with a few adaptations.

Heat 1 T of oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Remove the ginger chunks from the fish. Once the oil starts sizzling, carefully place in all the fish. Cook about 3-5 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of your fish).

Meanwhile in a small sauce pan, heat 1/2 T of oil over medium heat. Once it starts sizzling, remove from heat and immediately add in the remaining marinade that was set aside. Add a one or two teaspoons of water and stir well. Drizzle this sauce over the fish. I served the fish over a bed of sauteed baby spinach (with a tiny bit of oil and kosher salt). However any greens should go pretty well with this dish. :)Any of you have a favorite tilapia recipe that you'd like to share?? :D

Ooh this looks yummy, I didn't know tilapia cooked so easy. I'm gonna have to try this.Usually I just stick a protein in the oven with some salt and pepper, I haven't quite mastered the art of making sauces...but I'm still learning.This definitely inspired me!
